No Excitement : iMoan

This seem to have been quiet on the digital creative front over the last couple of months. We had the massive build up to iPhone 3G, the new iTunes, Mobile Me and of course the new Apps Store. These have all been in some way quiet exhausting releases. We have the problems with iPhone pre-order, the problems with Mobile Me and then issues with the iPhone firmware.

Well the good news is things seem to be back on track and the love is back for all things Apple. Today I was able to view a number of different calendars at once on my iPhone. All nicely colour coded I could move events around easily. I was able to quickly take notes at a meeting and email a task to my current GTD application (Omnifocus). Yes I could have added the entry directly to Omnifocus but I needed to take notes separately  but the mail rule makes everything integrate. 

It looks, certainly after just a week that the battery issues with the iPhone are certainly improved I can last a full day with out fear of the dreaded no power icon appearing. 

So, what am I to moan about ? lets face it most of the personal entries to DigMo! by both the current writer and the previous chap always had a cloud to their silver lining and we can’t let this post be any different. Well, here goes, it has been a year and where is the update for iWork ? Apple introduced Numbers over a year ago. A great little spreadsheet application that in so many ways is better than Excel but yet still lacks some basic features, the ability to rotate text being just one.

It is a slightly wimpish moan given the massive of new toys Apple have provided us with this summer and if I were honest I had to think to come up with one but I am now reassured I haven’t lost the ability to moan on demand and for this reason I have introduced a new tag to the DigMo! camp in the form of ‘iMoan’ That said, I’d still love to see an iWork update all the same ?
